Notes
General:
Edwin W. Holbrook and Nathaniel A. Atwood were both lost from the schooner Telegraph in Bay Chaleur.Medical:
Nathaniel shares a gravestone with his half-brother, Amasa.
"Nathaniel A. Atwood lost in Bay Chaleur Oct. 5, 1850, aet. 25 yrs.
In memory of Amasa P. Atwood, Drowned in Cascumpec harbor August 25, 1856, aet. 18 yrs.
'Sudden their exit, short their final prayer
But mercy heard for God himself was there.' "
Chaleur Bay (French baie des Chaleurs) is an arm of the Gulf of Saint Lawrence separating Quebec's Gaspé Peninsula from New Brunswick's North Shore. The wide mouth of the Restigouche River is formed at the western-most (upper) end of the bay. Also known as Bay of Chaleur or Baie des Chaleurs. The Bay extends from the mouth of the Restigouche River to Miscou Island. It was named on July 10, 1534 by Jacques Cartier when he described the Bay as "more temperate than Spain and the finest it is possible to see...We named this bay Chaleur Bay [the Bay of Heat]". English speakers in the Gaspe and northern New Brunswick area usually call it Bay Chaleur. 27
